Thank you what you are doing
I've watched the construction progress here in Fall River, everything seems to be being done first-class. 🙂 As a retired electronics tech, I can appreciate the testing involved.
I’ve met Ryan a few times, great guy! He came up from a locomotive engineer, to where he is now, very excited to have someone with his experience in a position like this!
This is BS that mass is doing this.
The Wind Turbines are going to Prove to be Detrimental to the well-being of our ecosystem!
Good to hear from young and old. Thank you.
Excellent ❤Very Nice🎉
Comments that agree that wind mills are nothing but a joke keep getting deleted. Insane how the media paints these pictures that no one agrees with. Deal with it. No one wants this crap in the ocean besides the people that are getting rich off them. They’re not clean energy as the ocean is filled with fiber glass now. It won’t save anyone money our electric bills will Double. I’m not seeing much of a reason at all to have these built in our oceans. Besides the obvious agenda that’s been happening. Ya know destroy anything that has given people money for the last hundred years. They think they’re going to bring the rich down and all of a sudden the poor will rise up. No one handed the Europeans that showed up on the may flower anything. They had better ideas, they were smarter and that’s why we’re here. Take it away from us and we’ll come up with another way to be on top. Stop wasting your time
These are soooo green. Sharp fiber glass filling the ocean and beaches. Where’s there science now.
*their And science doesn’t belong to anyone. It’s a method to understand objective reality with experimentation and observation and analysis.
Pero ni la muerte los asustan. Pues siganle. Aya ellos💅💅💅💅
it's great you do breakfast and lunch summer program and games and prizes😊
That's so awesome
KEEP IT OPEN
Wind towers will be useless in a few years...they will be big empty poles,a navigation hazard....this windfarm is a joke..support your local fisherman...these are the hardest working people there is...I know because I've been one my whole life....the government is killing us.....good job guys.
Let me be the first one to say that no wall, is going to stop make and female inmates from getting to one another. Gonna be ALOT of slappin n slurpin goin on in that booking 😂

Hi Mark, Nice to see you as it’s been years. Never knowing i would be facing eviction bc i advocate for our children… its been really hard to do the right thing to only continuously be punished” but’ I’d rather be on the streets than ‘ go along with protecting those who hurt our innocent’ I’m positive about What’s SO PASSIONATE! PEACE ✌️

Y para que quieres haitianos ahí?
PORQUE SE PONEN COMO VICTIMAS SI NO LO SON....CUANDO INVADEN POR LA FUERZA A UN PAIS QUE NO LOS QUIERE. AHI ESTAN LOS RESULTADOS DE SUS PROPIAS DECISIONES....ASUMANLAS....
Muy triste... pero se les dice una y mil veces ... No crucen asi.... utilicen la aplicacion... tardara tiempo en que les den cita si pero es mas segura...

Ya lits great that the state gives new Bedford money for the homeless until the people that oversee distributing the funds get caught embezzling it..just saying...
I'm in recovery and pray for everyone that's in recovery also from any addiction not just drugs and alcohol or
Surprising and interesting project. This has always felt a special area of the City to me and I'm glad some concern and investment is going into an anchor project here. I can remember 35 cent movies at the Capitol, watching Jaws for the first time, going to the Halloween spectaculars, meeting friends here. The neighborhood with a record/electronics/camera store, the A&P nearby, of course St. Anthony's church/grade school/high school, and all kinds of health and living and food services provided by the businesses that lived here were welcome and necessary. It's been a sad 40 years passing the closed Capitol. I hope this project thrives and re-energizes the area.
Percacets ARE oxycodone.
